Edwin Rodriguez, 19, of 143 Euclid Ave., was taken into custody at that address shortly before 3:30 p.m., according to Springfield police arrest records. The alleged crime occurred at the Euclid Avenue apartment, police said.

Rodriquez was charged with assault and battery on a "knowingly pregnant" woman, threatening to commit a crime and malicious damage to a motor vehicle. He was expected to be arraigned on the charges Wednesday in Springfield District Court, but the outcome of that hearing was not immediately known.

This is not Rodriguez's first brush with the law. In December 2011, he was charged with receiving stolen property for allegedly trying to sell a stolen necklace for $500 after arranging a meeting with a buyer outside the former Wheeler's convenience store at Dickinson and Keith streets, Springfield police spokesman Sgt. John Delaney said at the time.
